for a year.

A judgment on which execution is not levied before the
expiration of one (1) year after its rendition shall not operate
as a lien on the estate of a debtor. When judgment is rendered
in the district or supreme court and a special mandate is
awarded to the district court to carry the same into execution,
the lien of the judgment creditor shall continue for one (1)
year after the mandate is filed with the county clerk. The
special mandate shall be entered on the journal of the district
court before being filed with the county clerk. In computing
the period of one (1) year, the time covered by an appeal of the
case, by an injunction against the execution, by a vacancy in
the office of sheriff or by the inability of the officer, shall
be excluded.
